House Church – What are they?What is a house church? We are used to thinking of church as a building, but how does the Bible portray the church? Interestingly, the Bible never uses the word “church” to describe a building; instead, it gives us the picture of the church as a family. Like a family, there are spiritual mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers in Christ. The church is called “God’s household” (1 Timothy 3:15). They shared common meals together (Acts 2:46, 1 Corinthians 11:20-21). Lived life together (Acts 2:44-46) and as a family, were to care for and love one another deeply (1 Peter 1:22). Not surprisingly then, the New Testament churches typically met in the homes of believers.

Here are some biblical examples of New Testament house churches

Lydia’s House (Acts 16:40)

An Upper Room (Acts 20:8)

Priscilla and Aquila’s house (Romans 16:3-5, 1 Corinthians 16:19)

Nympha’s house in Laodicea (Colossians 4:15)

Archippa’s house (Philemon 2)
